China orders tighter controls on production of Heparin
AP/Yahoo News, March 21, 2008

China's order requires heparin producers to obtain the raw chemicals used to make the drug from registered suppliers. Raw heparin suppliers, meanwhile, are required to improve their management and tests on their products.
